Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy.
  4. Add in the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and cream soda extract, and combine well.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the butterscotch chips evenly.
Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are soft.
  3. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Serving
  1. For a special touch, drizzle with whipped cream or frosting before serving.

Notes

For best results, measure accurately and consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking to enhance flavor. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
